Collard Greens

Ingredients

• 6 ounces salt pork
• 8 cups water
• salt to taste
• 2 bunches collard greens
• 0.5 cups cider vinegar
• 4 teaspoons white sugar

Instructions

1. 1

   Place the pork, water and salt in a medium size pot. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Skim off any fat that rises to the top. Reduce temperature to low and let simmer for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, prepare greens. Discard damaged or yellow parts of leaves. Cut away the tough ends from each leaf. Place greens in a colander, and wash thoroughly until rinse water is clear of dirt. Fold each leaf in half at its center vein, fold over once or twice more, then cut in half.

3. 3

   Stir prepared greens into the simmering liquid. Let simmer all together for approximately 1 hour over low heat. Ladle into shallow bowls, and add sugar and cider vinegar to each bowl. Serve.
